Such a wonderful reflector!! I just deleted 25 messages - NONE of which had a damn thing to do with Elecraft products or Elecraft technical issues. This is becoming not an Elecraft reflector for product or technical issues, but a place for all of you OF's to tell us how important you are. Think abo

There's a way to get around all the OT stuff and not have it clog your mailbox. Set mail delivery to "off" and browse one the searchable daily web archives instead. You can still reply via email. Hmmm. What would happen if Elecraft turned mail delivery off for a week as an experiment? Don NA6Z K

Yes, Tom, I frequently delete dozens of messages in a single day that have nothing to do with my interests in Elecraft gear too. The ones I delete have to do with using this or that computer program or how people scored in this contest or that. But I would *never* want those posters to feel unw

Well said Tom. This reflector has been hijacked by five or six guys who seem to be experts on EVERYTHING. Subject matter has deteriorated. Days on end of what KN means. You have to be kidding me. 73's KT9T On Jul 19, 2011, at 4:17 PM, Tommy Alderman wrote: > Such a wonderful reflector!! I

Like Tommy I too end up deleting a ton of postings. The primary reason is because the subject field indicates equipment I don't have, or modes of operation I don't use. Also, there tends to be an endless string of thread postings until Eric finally says "hey, enough, guys." Nevertheless, I have no

My Gmail mail client takes care of threading, and with two hot keys (J and K), I can delete a days worth of ENTIRE THREADS of posts I don't care about in 10 or 15 seconds, including a good deal of technical posts that don't interest me but are useful and interesting to others. So what's the big de

I unsubscribed to the Elecraft net last fall because the noise on here was becoming untolerable. There were so many "here's what happened to me", "I remember this was the way.. " and so on. I need to learn about what is happening with the Elecraft line and not with soem protocol. I've been on

In Outlook, all Elecraft reflector mail goes into its own folder automatically using an Outlook "rule". In the Elecraft folder I click on "Arranged by / Conversation" and delete any string that's not of interest. Very quick, very easy. Keeps the blood pressure wy down ;-) 73, Ron AC7AC -

And Thunderbird can do the same. Why sort through emails in your Inbox when your email client can sort them into the appropriate folders for you. Everything with [Elecraft] in the subject line goes into my Elecraft folder - I can deal with it from there. If everything is dumped into your Inbo

Tom, Email filters are not just for junk. They can also be used to filter subjects in the reflector I'm not interested in, like statements about us OF's and the people that send them. 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:17:20 -
